I hope he does well because we could use his talent at the moment.

 

[Hairy Cat Mooney]

Will make an immediate impact on the game and will kick 5 goals with 25 possessions.

Before hitting Eureka to celebrate

 

[Herbs]

Not sure how much difference he'll make if a lot of the other players keep shitting the bed............but I hope he makes a positive impact all the same.

He is a classy player and i think the team will be better with him in it. If he can get 15 possies and a couple of goals his done his job.

 

[Copernicus]

Here's hoping we see a different SJ this week. I want to see him turn it on but also do the team things, less lairising etc.

Will be an interesting weekend for many reasons!

Should have happened two weeks ago. Two close losses with a gun forward running around in the 2s. Just can't see the wood for the trees down at the premiership drought capital.

Bollocks.

Wrong way around buddy. Its those who wanted to cut short his penalty that can't see the wood for the trees.

Hmmm...
Has Varcoe just been keeping the seat warm for Dog?

That's right penalise the club. Really smart thinking.

This argument about Dogs penalty just goes on and on! He is back this week so let's give it a rest now eh?

Good seeing Steve Johnson on the back page of the Herald-Sun for the right reasons!

 

[Mooney_d'King]

Varcoe, Mooney, Johnson, NAblett, Hawkins, Stokes in the forward line. Each taller player has a crumber and bingo! Rotate with Chappie and Gaz and possibly Ottens and that could work.

 

[Mr Sensitive]

varcoe would be pretty stiff to get dropped on last weeks effort. He was one of our few positives.
Tomahawk would be due for a spell soon won't he? He's been marked heavily for the last fortnight and could probably do with a run in the reserves.

Have to agree - Tomahawk could do with a run in the VFL to get his hands on the ball.

 

[Lingsface]

****ing massive night on the town after the game coming up for stevie!
haha nah great to see him back way way to good for vfl, is still one of my favourite players.

I'd probably give Hawkins one more week for the simple reason that RIchmond don't have the talls to deal with Geelong forwardline. I would drop give him 3-4 weeks to buld up his fitness after this game though.

Problem is, if he goes out and kicks a bag against Richmond (in a similar way to Carlton and Melbourne) he won't be dropped for the week after.
If Nablett, Ottens and SJ are all back in, with Mooney, I think the wisest thing to do would be to give Hawkins a rest. He needs to build up more fitness.
